Troubleshoot domain separation errors

If you encounter domain separation issues, review this list of solutions.

Error or symptom

Solution

A domain sys_id points to a non-existent domain

This error occurs when a data record, such as a user or task record, has a
sys_domain column value whose sys_id does not
exist in the current domain table. The domain sys_id could have
been accidentally deleted or it could refer to a previous domain table if you
changed the domain table.

To fix the error, open a list for the table containing
the error, filter on the invalid sys_domain value. Then, either
manually enter the correct sys_domain value or remove it.

Note: You can have invalid domain sys_ids in any table
that references the domain table. For example, invalid domain IDs can occur in
the User Visibility Domain [sys_user_visibility], Group
Visibility Domain [sys_user_group_visibility], and Contained
Domain [domain_contains] tables.

A domain path or domain number sys_id points to the wrong domain

This error occurs when a domain number or domain path query is out of sync with
the actual domain name. This error can occur with domain numbers when adding domains
requires renumbering or during the conversion from domain numbers to domain
paths.

To fix the error, validate the
domain tree and let the background conversion process run to completion.
If the error persists, you can manually edit the value for the
sys_domain_path or sys_domain_number columns
to point to the proper domain.

The domain tree structure is corrupt

This error occurs if there is a series of domain contains relationships that
create an infinite loop among domains.

To fix the error, open a list for the
domain table and manually edit the domain contains values to not form a loop.
